How do these threads work? I have participated in groups before where we all made blocks (say 10)- sent them to a central location and she sent us each different ones so we ended up with a variety. Sometimes there was a theme or color specified, of course size, and always fun. Are there any of these groups out there I could join? Thanks for any info.

This is a link to a portion of the Board that lists all swaps and round robins. You can also find it by going to the top of this page, left side, you will see words: Quilting Forum.
If you click on those words, it will take you to the main page of the Quilting Board and there you will find the lists of TOPICS this Board addresses.
When you click on the individual topic (in this instance, Member swaps and round-robins) you will go to the next page which is the link I put in the first part of my response.
The pictures you are seeing here are from a round-robin.
Every quilt started with a center created by a quilter. There are six quilters in each group. IRR2 (international round robin 2) has ten groups with six quilters in each group.
There is a time-line (and, we try to adhere to it), and the center is sent to the next quilter who attaches a pre-arranged-sized border ... the quilt progresses from one quilter to the next.
At this time, we will be waiting to see pictures of the last border (8") and the quilt will be returned to the originating quilter who created the center.
Hope this helps <wave>

Patti, you should be getting Mary's quilt from me, but I haven't finished it yet...as usual. Then you will get YOUR quilt back from me with the september mailing!

I am a little behind...Patti, have you mailed "yours" out to Mary yet and Mary have you received it? Mary, have you mailed "yours" out to Colletta yet, and Colletta, have you received it?

Just making sure I have everything accounted for.

I have Colletta's and that is all. I have mailed everything else.

Yes ma'am...see above...Mary has Colletta's that I finished. I don't have anything, but don't rush yourself my dear....I DO have plenty to work on! :wink:

I finished Colletta's today. Hopefully I can take it to the PO tomorrow. The picture I took seems pretty dark. I'll let you take another picture to go on the final page. OK? Thanks, M
